Freightliner and Western Star customers with an active Detroit Connect subscription now have access to a related mobile app that offers information about vehicle performance.

Available for iOS or Android devices, it can be downloaded for free through Apple’s App Store or Google Play.

The app has many of the same features available through the Detroit Connect portal. A push notification feature notifies users about “service now” fault events delivered by Virtual Technician, while other features include Detroit Analytics fuel efficiency insights and safety reporting, soon available for new Freightliner Cascadias.
